Must say, as an Israeli myself, I'm embarrassed. I've never heard of the company before but knew they were Israelies when I saw the names involved.
Just goes to show that exploitation, not (jewish) "genius", is behind most of what we mistake for success. So much for the Israeli "startup nation" and its offshoots.
- darkstar999 12y agoWhat? This has nothing to do with Israel or Jews. It was a California company flying in Indians for cheap labor.
- boards2x 12y agoCEO and founder, are both Israelis.
- darkstar999 12y agoSo? It has nothing to do with their nationality or religion. It's totally irrelevant.
- dreamweapon 12y agoPerfectly relevant, given the background of company's principals.
- darkstar999 12y agoI could get into it about Israel, but it's totally irrelevant in this case.
- dreamweapon 12y agoThere's nothing wrong with a person from country X saying he expects better behavior from fellow people coming from country X. That's all that happened here. There's no reason at all for people to get so touchy about it.
- darkstar999 12y agoIf you took what he said but replaced "as an Israeli myself" with "I'm not Israeli", it would be racist. That's what annoys me. It might be different if race/ethnicity/religion were involved in the article.
- boards2x 12y agoThat's just being cynical. Israeli national sport is to point out Israeliness/jewishness (two completely different things, IMHO) of anything that smells of success. We love to do this when it's positive, we try to hide it when it's not. Like in this case. My first suspicion was that it was an Israeli, not because I saw the name and suspected. I had no clue. Just a suspicion which was verified. My reasons are probably my own experience in Hi Tech in Israel and the abundance of indian programmers in many of our own local companies. PS-0 And don't get me started on how racist the jewish diaspora is, or Israelis, in general. Towards black, arabs, other jews etc. It's a stinking pile of self-hatred and racism. PS-1 You can down vote as much as you want, it does not change the sad and ugly truth.
